CONT

Un type de pain, propre aux Etats-Unis, est désigné sous le nom de pain de levain de San Francisco. Bien que relativement nouveau par rapport aux pains traditionnels d'autres pays, ce type de pain est bien connu dans de nombreux pays. On prépare ce pain continuellement en reconstituant un levain de première toutes les huit heures. Le levain de première agit à la fois comme agent de levée et agent de fermentation grâce à la présence de souches uniques de micro-organismes.
